I've got a couple of spots I'm trying to keep Jazz out of, like behind
the TV where the electrical and cable wires are. She thinks the wires
are great fun, and I can't come up with a way to make a barricade.

Juls,

Go to an automotive supply store and buy a few yards of vacuum hosing- it
comes on a roll (very flexible) and in a variety of inside diameters from
1/8" to about 1". Cut the hosing in the lengths of the wires; cut a slit
down the length of the hosing and put the wires inside.

You can also use plastic tubing that you can buy a Home Depot, but I prefer
vacuum hosing because the hoses are very strong and walls of the hosing are
very thick- thicker than the length of a cat's carnassial teeth. Vacuum
hosing is very inexpensive and very easy to work with- its so flexible that
you can even tie it into a tight knot.

Oh wow, that's a great idea. I could do the same with computer cables,
too.

Any ideas for the space between the wall and the fridge? I tried a
piece of cardboard to fit, and she tore it down pretty quickly. For
some reason, she likes to sleep *behind* the refrigerator. It took me a
long time to figure out where she was hiding when she would disappear.
I knew she was sleeping somewhere, but hadn't thought of behind the
fridge until I heard her coming out one day...and there she came. When
she disappears, now I can go to the kitchen and jump up and down really
hard on the floor and the vibrations wake her, but it's not a place I
want her to be.
